It's tough to watch when Geno & Neal are throwing their tantrums in a game, I mean when Sid does it, he usually has a few whacks with a stick to some guy's leg or he roughs someone up and takes a few bad penalties and that's the end of it, he has a bad game and he rebounds the next.
Geno is Dr Jekyll or Hyde with his, he'll either throw a tantrum and play like a beast or throw a tantrum and turn the puck over, get stupid penalties, and be a huge detriment to the team and that will go on for a few games.
Neal, he just ends up doing the most stupid thing possible in the game and make you shake your head.
The best part of all of this is that people love Lindros and Messier and others like that, for stuff Geno, Sid, and Neal do when they loose their cool, when those guys (#88 and #11) did it, they look back it as "Man they were awesome!" but when those 3 do it, it's "They are bad players!"...
AND the worst part is that...the team walks on egg shells with all 3. Mostly the first two. Why? Because they aren't just the franchise players, they're two of the best in the game, the fear of telling them off for being stupid might result in one of them wanting out or both. That's the ultimate fear for Shero et al. But it has to be done, sometimes I wish we had a coach that had the balls to snap at star players the way Torts does (no way in hell do I want Torts on the Pens though).
But this is our team, if people don't like it, they can go **** themselves.
